King James Translators' Notes

Issachar: that is, An hire

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

30:14-24 The desire, good in itself, but often too great and irregular, of being the mother of the promised Seed, with the honour of having many children, and the reproach of being barren, were causes of this unbecoming contest between the sisters. The truth appears to be, that they were influenced by the promises of God to Abraham; whose posterity were promised the richest blessings, and from whom the Messiah was to descend.


Genesis 30:17 God gave heed to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Genesis 30:19 Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. (NASB ©1995)
